20 Park Avenue

A page taken from days gone by...this 100 year old home showcases the 1920's finishes and trim that are still so admired today. An excellent opportunity to restore this "Grand Dame" to its glory from yesteryear. A family home since the early 1970's, this would be a great option to nestle into one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in St. Augustine. Mature, moss-laden trees, quiet streets, and pride of ownership define the neighborhood. The location, just a block from San Marco and SR 16, offers convenient proximity and access to the world outside of Park Avenue. The home itself, with the original wood floors throughout, is typical of the design from the period - formal and social rooms downstairs and bedrooms upstairs. In today's society, the room adjacent to the living room could easily be used as an office or guest room. The kitchen has two sets of windows, adding abundant natural light, and can easily be redefined to maximize efficiency and modern convenience. The large, front covered porch is ideal for quiet mornings or afternoon socials. Brick and coquina stone-lined walkways accent the landscaping and yard. Behind the house is an expansive wooden deck, perfect for larger gatherings and summer cookouts. The detached garage can function as both storage and parking. But perhaps of most significant value is the vacant lot adjacent to the house. This large lot has been used as a play area for the family and a wonderful greenspace...but can also be a template for a new home - many options are available. If your interests are older homes and neighborhoods, a convenient location, and a passion for personalizing ala HGTV, House Hunters, This Old House, etc., put this on your must-see list...
